The final Triple Crown race of the season takes place on Saturday with the Belmont Stakes. Known as “The Test of the Champion” the race will be held at the famed Saratoga Race Course instead of Belmont Park this year due to renovations. Saratoga is an iconic horse racing venue and home of the Travers Stakes, one of the most prestigious races on the annual calendar. Normally, the Belmont Stakes is the longest race of the Triple Crown schedule at 1.5 miles. But because of the change in venue, the 2024 Belmont Stakes will be 1.25 miles instead. Let’s look at top Belmont Stakes Betting favorites for Saturday, June 8, 2024. ...
As per usual, compared to the 2024 Kentucky Derby, the 2024 Preakness Stakes has a much smaller lineup. The Preakness is often skipped by Kentucky Derby losers who no longer have a shot at immortality and the Triple Crown. On the other hand, the 2024 Preakness Stakes board will show some new horses who should be fresh after skipping the Run for the Roses. As a result of the smaller field, there are significantly fewer longshot choices on the board. Or make those huge paying long shots. But value opportunities abound. And the quality of horses remains high. Let’s look at top Preakness Stakes Betting favorites for Saturday, May 18, 2024. ...
The race for the Triple Crown continues this week with the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland. Following the pressure and tension of the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes is much more of a laid-back party atmosphere. The second leg of horse racing’s Triple Crown is a favorite of many horsemen, including Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lucas. But for this week’s trainers and jockeys, the 2024 Preakness Stakes will have the pressure and demands of a Grade 1 classic. And for Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan and crew, there is Triple Crown immortality on the line. Let’s look at top Preakness Stakes Betting favorites for Saturday, May 18, 2024. ...
As Kentucky Derby week begins, gamblers would be wise to check themselves, especially when looking at the top of the betting board. Nothing is more important than matching ability and price with the 2024 Kentucky Derby Odds. It must be remembered that too much square money will inflate the prices at the top of the board. The fact remains that the Kentucky Derby draws more betting a...
The race for the Triple Crown begins on Saturday with the 2024 Kentucky Derby. Last year's best shot at seeing a Triple Crown winner was lost before the first leg of the three marquee races. Namely, Forte was the Kentucky Derby favorite but was scratched the morning of the Kentucky Derby due to a foot injury. Ironically, Forte's owner, Mike Repole, has the Derby Day betting favorit...
The 2023 Breeders’ Cup takes place on Friday and Saturday with many of the best horses in the world competing against each other.

The Saturday card features the $6 million dollar Breeders’ Cup Classic with Bob Baffert’s Arabian Knight listed as the...

The Preakness Stakes is set for Saturday with Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit listed as the 9-5 morning-line favorite. The horse failed a post-race test after the Derby, but horse racing officials have allowed Medina Spirit to race in Saturday’s Preakness. This year’s Preakness looks to have one of the weakest fields in recent memory, so Medina Spirit definitely has a chance to win as the betting favorite. The 2021 Preakness Stakes takes place on Saturday at Pimlico Race Course with a post t...
Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit will race in Saturday’s Preakness and is listed as the morning line favorite. The Triple Crown hopeful failed a postrace drug test after the Derby, as betamethasone was found in his system. Horse racing officials decided that Medina Spirit will be allowed to race in the Preakness although trainer Bob Baffert will not be in attendance. Saturday’s Preakness Sta...
Medina Spirit was impressive at the Kentucky Derby on May 1. The horse wasn’t one of the favorites to win the Run for the Roses, but he toppled Essential Quality, Hot Rod Charlie, and Rock Your World. He is now considered one of the favorites for the Preakness Stakes, but the oddsmakers aren’t too high on Medina Spirit winning the Triple Crown. ...
